Established in 2008, Equity Group Foundation (EGF) is a not-for-profit implementing foundation born out of Equity Bank Group’s commitment to servicing the poor, both through its core business model and its various corporate social responsibility initiatives. EGF champions social development programmes, creates effective partnerships, and leverages strategic financial investments with the goal of improving the lives of at least 50 million people by 2020. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, EGF responds to the continuum of issues that challenge economic advancement, especially for low-income individuals and families, to create change through six programme pillars: 

•	Agriculture
•	Education and Leadership Development
•	Environment
•	Financial Literacy 
•	Health
•	Innovation and Entrepreneurship 

Today, EGF shares a strong relationship with Equity Bank Group, with EGF benefiting from the bank’s extensive network of branches and financial agents, particularly in rural areas; its strong, credible brand; its specialised capacities in finance, technology, and communications; and fundamentally, its entrepreneurial spirit. By leveraging the bank’s infrastructure and resources, EGF keeps its overhead costs low, thereby offering funding partners a particularly good value for program execution.
